If you were anticipating playing pinball over the holidays on your Wii U, you might have noticed that December came and went without Zen Pinball 2. That’s because the game was quietly delayed into this month, though Zen Studios hasn’t given more specific details of when to expect the title.

The studio tweeted the delay (via Joystiq) just after Christmas. It only mentioned “January” as a release window. The studio teased that it utilizes the GamePad functionality to differentiate it from the existing versions, and we already know that it will be free on the Wii U eShop with purchasable tables.
